Rainbow Scrap Challenge for August... Orange

The way my summer got too busy - I just knew I wouldn't be able to crank out a Stepper quilt for August... I mean, I had already failed for July... but I still have a sticky note of the colors!!!

So I just decided... Hats!!! That is what my RSC project will be for these months....

 I went into my trusty yarn bag and pulled out anything that looked *orangish* to me...

Most of it was kind of a burnt orange - but it made me feel that Fall would be in the air someday.... someday.........



Ta da!!! Three orangish hats - and one with the leftovers of the Purple from July!!!

Again - these are Going to my Friend M - she makes Operation Christmas Child boxes and her deadling is Looming.... she needs all the hats by October 1st - 


Speaking of Looming... every time I post these everyone asks how I made them, and I laugh - because I don't know.. I just do what M said... but now I am prepared!!

These are made on a Loom ( I called it a circly thing)

I use the pink one for the hats for M - I used the Purple one for the bigger adults that I made a few hats for. and the Blue one for a baby hat. 

I have not tried the green one yet ..maybe toddler hats?



Then I got fiddly and wanted to try something else so I got a Flexi Loom 

The cool thing with that one is you can remove the links and create a different style hat - but as slow as I am - they took longer and I still have one hat on that loom.  But its all good - I'll get there haha!!




Now! To make the ones with a brim - you stitch 20 rows and fold in half ( back up on the loom) them make 30 more rows

TO make the ones without the brim - you just stitch 40 rows total

and there you go - everything I know!!! ( kinda sad it all fits in one post haha)

    And here I thought you knitted them with needles! You need a knitting machine and boy you could pop those babies out by the hundreds. Good job Alycia:)

    So that's your secret! i can knit but my gauge is always too big no matter what I do. I bet this would solve the problem.

    What I know about creating beauty could fit on a pinhead! Thank you for letting me admire what you do! (some of us have to serve in that capacity!)

    Well, for Pete's sake...you just reminded me that I have those circular looms somewhere. Maybe I should find them and use up the yarn that has accumulated before the mice get into it all again.
